About Sian

Sian Dyer is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who draws on trauma-focused work alongside acceptance and commitment and attachment-based approaches. She uses an integrative style so sessions can be tailored to what feels most useful for each person. Sian describes her focus as helping people manage anxiety, stress, low mood and the sense of being stuck.

She pays close attention to how the nervous system shapes reactions. That means talking about fight, flight, freeze or shutdown responses and how they affect thoughts and behaviour.

Background and approach

Sian uses practical strategies for emotional regulation so clients can feel calmer and clearer in day-to-day life. Her work is informed by personal experience of therapy, which she says helps her relate to how overwhelming worry and self-criticism can feel. That background informs a compassionate, down-to-earth style that aims to build self-trust and steadier responses to stress.

Sessions explore patterns from past experience, attachment dynamics, and how thoughts, feelings and the body interact. The emphasis is on small, manageable steps such as noticing triggers, practising grounding techniques, and building healthier boundaries. Sian also supports people with issues around addiction, grief, self-esteem, sexual and relationship difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and chronic health challenges.

She works in English and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. People connect with her when they want to develop emotional balance, clearer self-understanding and practical tools to cope with life changes. Therapy is collaborative and paced to suit each person’s needs.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How trauma-aware and practical therapies work online

Sian uses trauma-focused therapy to help people understand how past harm affects feelings and behaviour. This approach looks at nervous system responses and how they shape reactions, and it supports skills-based work to manage overwhelm.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, which helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts while choosing actions that reflect their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-based work examines early relationship patterns to improve current connections and emotional safety within relationships and self-awareness.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options, check what feels comfortable, and adjust methods based on the person’s goals and preferences. People often combine approaches so sessions match what is most helpful at the time.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day, while live chat or text-based messaging support shorter check-ins or reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and travel commitments.
